Hello @Harpoon,
Thanks for your message. When using 1Password.com, this guide discusses how to Create and manage tags, but it is not possible to edit tags there.
Former Member is correct here, and thanks for the reply and mentioning how to rename tags in the app while right-clicking the tag in the left sidebar.
Here's a link if you don't already have the 1Password 8 app installed on your devices, Download 1Password 8.
Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

If you're busy migrating and housekeeping, I recommend you install the desktop app. It's made exactly for this. It's way more convenient to do all the tedious tasks of housekeeping. It's way better for editing than the website or the browser plugin. With it, renaming a tag is just right-click a tag in the tag hierarchy.

Hello. I'm busy migrating over to 1Password from LastPass and taking the chance to do some housekeeping.
Can you rename tags from the browser UI? If you can, I've not found the right place so far - do you need the full client installed?
Thanks,

I just tried it, and it seems to work well.
An unexpected effect (but not bad) : automatic merging
Example : I had 3 tags "Printing Services" (5 items), "Printing" (2 items), and "Print" (2 items)
To test whether 1P would give a warning when renaming a tag to a tag which already existed:
- I tried to rename "Printing" to "Printing Services"
- there was no warning and no error... but it merged the items from "Printing" to "Printing Services" and the tag "Printing" disappearedAn interesting experience
